Today, I couldn't sleep due to an awful head cold, so I stayed home from work. Apparently, the local high school marching band practices in the park across the street at 9am. They're doing the Imperial March music from Star Wars. They suck. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a nasty headache so I tried to take a nap. Unfortunately, my college had a homecoming parade a block away from where I live. I never knew our marching band sounded that awful. FML
Today, I woke up with a skull-splitting headache. I braved the wind and freezing temperatures to get to work. Today is also the day my boss thought it would be cute to let the elementary school band play at our office. FML
Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML
Today, during one of my final exams at university, the police academy across from the class decided to practice their marching. With the full band of bagpipes. For the entire 3 hours. I have a headache verging on migraine and start humming the marching beat occasionally. FML
Today, I have a cold, and was stuck sleeping in bed. My roommate decided to wake me up by sticking headphones in my ears and playing heavy metal on full volume. This is the third time this week. FML
Today, the Star Wars Cantina song had been stuck in my head since I woke up, as my brother was humming it. I finally managed to get it out of my head. Then my mom started to whistle it. It's stuck in my head again. FML
Today, and all day, I was forced to listen to one of the kids in my apartment building play their recorder loudly and horribly. She started over whenever she missed a note. I was sick, was getting a migraine from it, and couldn't ask her to stop without her mom yelling at me. FML
Today, I came to work with a huge hangover after a night out. I work as a marching band director, and guess who I had to conduct a sectional with? That's right, percussion. My head still hasn't stopped throbbing. FML
Today, I sleep during the day because I work nights. My neighbors have a very loud wedding and reception in their backyard including a live mariachi band. FML
Today, I couldn't sleep because a group of drunken guys decided to stay out all night singing Disney songs. They had loudspeakers too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can tell that none of you know instruments. The tuba could cost more than your car by itself. Please be respectful to the instruments.

Luke on the bright side - I know you feel like Darth has warmed over, but once they Leia off the shitty music, you can take some cold medicine and drift away in a Lando silent bliss. You'll sleep as soundly as a manakin. Oh, and make sure you wash your Han well so you don't spread the virus.

steal the sheet music and tell the instructor that it isn't the sheets he's looking for.

Marching bands memorize their music.

I don't think so ear plugs would be of much help. May be you could crash in at your friends place and catch some sleep:-) Good luck op.

I feel your pain OP. I live a couple blocks from the high school. Their marching band practice route goes right by our house. So my family and I have been woken up by The Imperial March before. It makes me want to put on a Darth Vader suit and force choke a bitch.

Our high school marching band is really good at the Imperial March theme.
